RuPaul’s Drag Race UK - Coming 2019 on BBC3

[Scoot]

Actually confirmed!

[Shaun]

:omgno:

who wants to tell them it's a dead channel tho

But RuPaul’s Drag Race UK will be the first time a different version of the show has been created outside of the US.

Classic The Sun accuracy there...

[Scoot]

Drag Race Thailand was a collective hallucination!

[reece(:]

NOT BBC3

[Morgan.]

I'm going to assume the first season is a BBC3 special to test the waters before they decide if it's good enough for a main channel? Especially as it's only 8 episodes.

[Denver]

It will stay on BBC3 they have a lot of original stuff on there

[RileyH]

There's a BBC3?

[Scoot]

I'm assuming Ru is hosting this?

I'm hoping that the creative team that ends up working on it show a bit of creativity with the tasks and any twists are well thought out - with any luck it could be the Drag Race equivalent of BBCAN. I've found the last few seasons of Drag Race a bit stale production-wise :worry:

[Headie]

Omg yass

[Braden]

Eh, there's been so much hype around this, but I've never really been on board.

It's gonna take a lot for it to actually be successful, but then Drag Race itself started off as a cult-hit so who knows? Just can't see it taking off here like it did in the US. Drag culture is far more prevalent in America than it is here...or anywhere in Europe, tbh.

[Morgan.]

There's a BBC3?

It's an iPlayer Exclusive Channel

[Nicky91]

There's a BBC3?

mess :laugh2:

[Nicky91]

not RuPaul drag race UK getting aired on a Iplayer exclusive channel

:skull:

[Black Dagger]

It's literally on Netflix... A streaming service. Shut up pretending you know what you're on about.

Val Qaeda is coming

Michelle confirmed that her and Ru are judging so I'd assume Ru would be hosting but it's not a given.

[Wizard.]

Perched for this to air at 1am on BBC One. Well they aired Killing Eve on BBC1 and Witless and they are BBC 3 shows.

[zrc]

Depends who they have as contestants tbh. Whilst the country has some great queens, it also has some down right garbage.

I'd watch it if it were on any other channel but BBC3. So I'll wait to see if they put it on later on the other bbc channels or on YouTube.

[T*]

I’m looking forward to the queens having a meltdown in british

[T*]

‘aV FOOKIN AD IT ROO I CANT TAKE THIS SHITE

[zrc]

You're so angry ay ya? Why you got sand in your vag? Want a bucket and spade to go with it?

[Shaun]

‘aV FOOKIN AD IT ROO I CANT TAKE THIS SHITE

:skull: the Americans switching on expecting to see 12 Charlie Hides all talking eloquently and singing live because we don't lipsync in Britain but instead turning on to see what is basically Geordie Shore; two queens tonguing and talking about rimming whilst another screams for a kebab

[Braden]

lmfao.

Let's face it, this is basically going to be like BOTS when they had random drag nights elongated into an actual tv show.

[Nick.]

Perched for the snatch game

[Morgan.]

Perched for the snatch game

If no one does Gemma Collins I'm not watching

I want some old drag queens who perform at Blackpool or summat not just fish!

Well if we go off Hides, the lipsyncs will be.. Interesting.

I hope it does well but eh... I just can’t see it. DR does have a good UK fan base but I just think the queens they get are gonna be a bit Nicole Paige Brookes/Sasha Belle standard.

[Daniel-X]

The queens wearing wigs from Luvyababes

[Wizard.]

The prize to be an eyeshadow pallet from Revolution and 10 grand?

[Firewire]

It’s going to be a ****ing mess I can’t wait

Jade from Little Mix will FOR SURE guest judge one week

I also can’t wait for snatch game for them to impersonate Kat from EastEnders and Shirley Bassey

[Lostie!]

The queens wearing wigs from Luvyababes

:laugh2:

[Cal.]

‘This week’s star judge is...’

‘ME! NICOLA MCWEAN :) ‘

[reece(:]

We want Paul O'Grady guest judging!

[Shaun]

Some absolute musts for any Snatch Game in the future (I can see this lasting at least two seasons):

- Gemma Collins
- Kim Woodburn
- Cilla Black
- Dame Edna
- Lily Savage
- Miriam Margolyes
- Judi Dench
- Paloma Faith
- Gillian McKeith
- Su Pollard
- Barbara Windsor
- Kathy Burke
- Catherine Tate
- Joanna Lumley
- Kate Bush

Unsure how soap characters would work since the Americans aren't allowed to reference characters, and have to choose the actors instead.

[Smithy]

Paul doesn’t like drag race so I doubt he would ever appear :(

[Scoot]

Here for someone doing Lea Walker in Snatch Game

“COS SHE’S DONE FOOK ALL WRONG TO YOUUUUUU” right in Ru’s face would be a scream.

Would he even get most of the uk-centric references they’d all make? :worry:

If you'll watch it on youtube, what's so arduous about watching it on iPlayer? :think:

I think that Ru might just be a judge tbh, I can see someone else hosting for the most part.

Oh. :( This is gonna be infected with Rylan too?

:idc: Keep it.

[Scoot]

I think that Ru might just be a judge tbh, I can see someone else hosting for the most part.

I'd hope so but at the same time I can see them thinking having Ru as host is integral even though it isn't. It'd make the whole thing rather pointless tbh.

I wonder who they would get as host? I'm not very familiar with UK talent. :laugh:

[zrc]

Didn't Jonathan Ross and Jodie harsh host that "drag race" a few years back. Think the winner got to tour the US set and some other stuff.

[zrc]

Bianca Del Rio is on Good Morning Britain after the break. This should be fun.

[Tom4784]

Apparently it's been confirmed that Graham Norton will be one of the rotating judges. I'm pretty happy with that tbh, a good choice.

[Tom4784]

https://www.reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace/comments/aqk1c1/this_is_the_best_news_ive_heard_all_day_graham/

The comments suggest that Alan Carr might have been confirmed too although there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that.

Edit: Ooop

Edit: I figured it out.

We love the Chanel version of Walmart's Ross and Carson.

Legends.

[Tom4784]

It's a good lineup, hopefully we get some characters for guest judges too.

[Headie]

1096066197639049216

[Shaun]

Very big names, just hope Alan actually cares about drag. Graham's already done the US version (Allstars 2, the episode with the commercials and Tatianna went home a second time) so I would imagine he does.

[zrc]

Can't stand either of them.

[Denver]

Alan Carr has confirmed Paul O'Grady

[Crimson Dynamo]

at least they are going for left field judges and presenters...

[Smithy]

Why the **** do you care :joker::joker::joker:

[zrc]

Alan Carr has confirmed Paul O'GradyWhich was pretty much a given in the first place.

They should have Kylie Minogue as their big guest for the premier episode.

Eddie Izzard, Little Mix, Cheryl, Alesha Dixon, Anita Dobson & Bev Callard.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Why the **** do you care :joker::joker::joker:

i don't but alan carr was going on about it with Zoe Ball this morning (alan carr has no idea what he signed up for:joker:)


Ball was pretending to care but she is good at that

[zrc]

Zoe Ball hasn't cared about anything since about 1992.

[Smithy]

Alan Carr has confirmed Paul O'Grady

He said he saw it on Twitter, there’s been no announcement from Paul and after what he said about the show I wouldn’t be surprised if we wasn’t on it and Alan just got gooped by a rumor account

[Crimson Dynamo]

isnt bbc3 only on the computer now?

[Crimson Dynamo]

thjis could be a new prog for me and the TL

we are watching way, way too much gems tv at mo

:skull:

[zrc]

isnt bbc3 only on the computer now?Yes. Which is why I'll be waiting for it on YouTube.

[Scoot]

Yes. Which is why I'll be waiting for it on YouTube.

It’s online only so out of protest you’ll be... waiting until it’s online?

[Denver]

isnt bbc3 only on the computer now?

No because they get shown on BBC1 the following week

[Gstar]

Excited for this :cheer2:

[Scoot]

Lowkey expecting this to be miles ahead of the US version.

An Australian one someday would be cute.

[zrc]

It’s online only so out of protest you’ll be... waiting until it’s online?Don't need a tv license for YouTube. Which isn't a protest.

Perched for her guest appearance when they do a Love Island improv ep

[Shaun]

1109373808153116673

Seems they're filming it either now or very, very soon indeed :love: wonder how that'll work with the S11 finale due to be filmed next month :think:

I'm also intrigued af as to what our Workroom will look like. Will they try to replicate it, or go for something for British-themed, or just a generic "whatever studio we can find" set :think:

[zrc]

Quite easily. They'll bang out the filming of this in like two weeks. Probably happen before or after the finale filming then straight to filming All Stars 5, then Season 12.

I'm not happy about all the queens being from London anyway.

[Smithy]

Well we have 11 queens left, assuming there’s a final 4 that’s 7 weeks in theory until the finale airs (potentially 8 if they bring a queen back) and the show only takes 4 weeks to film so I imagine it’ll be fine :think:

I hope it’s not the same as the US where we have to wait till next year to see it :umm2:

Hoping for an October/November airing

Hoping for an October/November airingA BBC article said end of 19 into 20. It also said there's only 10 queens and all of them from London. So probably end of Nov/beginning of Dec start?

Also:

However, Gay Times reported that*filming began on March 1, which means that, out there, somewhere, the ten queens that I will inevitably become well and truly obsessed with are competing, posing, and being asked to lip sync for their lives.

[TomC]

Why do they all need to be from London? Seems a shame for other scenes.

[zrc]

Why do they all need to be from London? Seems a shame for other scenes.I was expecting one from Birmingham, Blackpool, Brighton and Manchester at least. London queens would've been the UKs version of New York Queens anyway.

Apparently they only cast one black queen too (take that with a pinch of salt as it came from Jakeyonce's Twitter or whatever he's called).

[Headie]

Manchester/Blackpool queens are legendary, it’s not Drag Race UK without a northern gob*****!

[zrc]

Some on Twitter have said they're filming at Elstree Studios.

Mess at one of his followers thinking Lauren Harries is competingLol. Cue her walking into the werk room shouting "where's Rylan?"

Ru said something about announcing the winners prize soon.

* A sickening years supply of Claire's cosmetics.
* 20 wigs from Poundland.
* a cash prize of £75 and the bus fair home.

[TomC]

There seems to be a good scene in Glasgow too!

Shame there’s only one black queen. Drag Race has always been so diverse and I’d like that to be translated to the UK version.

[Smithy]

I wouldn’t believe any of these rumors tbh, esp if they haven’t started filming yet

[Smithy]

UKS1 to have the original S1 filter as a throwback?

[Firewire]

I know people working on it I'll try and get some tea

I think it starts filming on Monday

[Wizard.]

So they were sequestered today so Queens that have gone quiet on social media are likely. Apparently Cheryl Hole and Bagga Chipz are pretty much 100%, more to be confirmed over the coming days. Someone made a spreadsheet 0.o

NOT Cheryl Hole :skull:

Yeah, that’s because the Gals Aloud have a tour date in Manchester on the 6th April, although I’m not sure how long filming is / if she is even going to be at that show. But the person said she and Baga are in the cast and both haven’t been on social media.

surely it would make more sense to film in LA and just fly everyone over.

If you haven’t seen it yet I suggest you go watch Drag Queen of London, it’s online somewhere. There’s a few London queens including Baga Chips. Will give you an idea of what to expect.

Oomf is in Gran Canaria and Janice dickinyourson is performing so she’s off t’list!
